MUSIC + MEDITATION EVENTS TO GET YOU
OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND INTO YOUR HEART
WHERE AN IMPROVISED VIOLIN CONCERT
AND GUIDED MEDITATION MEET
What do we offer?
Retreats, private sessions, workshops, and monthly online music meditations for folks wanting to learn how to utilize
Music and Meditation as Medicine for self healing.
our mission
At the intersection of live music concerts, guided meditative experiences, and group workshops, Carolyn and Ari lead their audience to feel the music directly, without the interference of the “critical” mind; focusing on healing emotional and energetic blocks through channelled music and guided inner journey meditations.
Ancient cultures understood that the mind existed to serve the heart… the mind was never meant to become the master of the heart; and yet, our modern society has made this our “normal”.
We have been taught to praise the intellect… and baffle at our emotions; the very quality that makes us human.
We are here to remember our shared humanity... our shared vulnerability... and our shared resilience.
OUR CO-FOUNDERS
Carolyn is also a songwriter, lyricist, and musician who deeply understands the ability of music, rhythm, and sound to touch our hearts and raise and balance our energies.

Many of her songs from these collaborations have been placed in films and television shows. She is also the founder and CEO of Soda Box Music, a new model boutique sync and licensing agency.

others say it best
"Loved the session! It was super charged and the meditation was exactly what I needed today. Tapping into the emotions as a part of meditation was perfect.
Ari’s music was charged and sparked a range of sensations and emotions- from reaching out to the glory of the exalted, to the sorrow of the ancients, to the calm of the river and more.
Just wanted to also let you know the messages I received were 'allow light and love- both in and out' and to 'soften the heart'.
Totally magical and magnificent."
"Participating in a Music Free My Heart session was a true soul event. The vibrational sound created by Ari was deeply healing and the meditation guided by Carolyn activated a transformational experience that still resonates at the deepest levels.
They are gems in this world."
"A kind of experience one doesn't have in the ordinary world, and different from meditation as I have known it, even kirtan."
"What a beautiful experience this morning. The violin performance by Ari was so moving. The music felt like I was experiencing my life journey.
Music is so powerful to our healing and provides another alternative to relaxation."
"Brought life and light to where pain is in the body - I felt the music in my bones.
Awakening to the heart."
"Ari’s cascading melodic lines in “Wandress,” conducts the listeners mind through a wandering path of the subconscious.
Lead by the Empress herself, her mystical phrasing reminds the heart to trust the process as we surrender to the alluring depths of the soul,
by simply breathing...in and out, in and out..."
